agreed.

I have nothing.

I'm curretnly comparing results with Daniel's work with results with the more 
clumsy original rules file - and according to debdiff, I'm now down to the 
following, which is  .. expected.  (+ version number differences and  small 
size differences and such stuff)

$ debdiff old/gnupg_1.4.9-3_amd64.deb new/gnupg_1.4.9-Dh5Rewrite_amd64.deb

(README.source and such things still needs to be moved over ...)

So I think it is time to continue work in branches/experimental until lenny 
release, then svn mv trunk/ branches/lenny ; svn mv branches/experimental 
trunk/  (or something like that).

Do you know how could I cancel the front-end?

You neither should ever mount the utility to a ATI tool of a case, nor have to 
send the provider for exploring a 68-bit IP login on the monitor to a monitor 
to a utility.
